I must have been unclear.  -t *does* catch errors; the problem is that
the first error still kills the run even in test mode.  Making most
errors nonfatal when -t is true might be helpful.  Right now what I do
is to throw a batch at the loader in -t mode, fix the error reported
at the end of the output, throw the batch again, fix the next error
(which was uncovered by fixing the previous error), perhaps many times
until a run completes cleanly.

Typically when a software vendor says that a product is "intuitive" he
means the exact opposite.
